WICHITA, Kan. (MacBulldogs.com) — A pair of Bulldogs picked up KCAC weekly recognition following McPherson College volleyball’s first home weekend with Raegan Murphy grabbing Setter of the Week honors and Enya Fierens securing a Defensive Player of the week nod, the league announced Monday (Sep. 9).
“It’s difficult to stand out in a conference as strong as the KCAC on any given week,” head coach Cory Cahill said. “Proud of these two and the recognition they received.”
Murphy, a native of Whitehall, Mich., was outstanding this weekend, finishing with a staggering 7.17 assists per set. She got the weekend going with a 22-assist performance in the Bulldogs 3-0 sweep over (RV) Hastings College before wrapping up the afternoon with 21 assists in the win over MidAmerica Nazarene.
Fierens, a sophomore from Lubbeek, Belgium, was a force at the net for the Bulldogs this weekend, finishing with 11 total blocks in two contests. She finished the week with 1.83 blocks per set, and was also effective on the offensive side, finishing with 13 kills on 28 attempts.
Murphy, Fierens, and the Bulldogs are back in action Thursday and Friday in Ottawa, Kan. for the Ottawa Invitational. MC will square off against No. 18-ranked Columbia College on Thursday at Noon before taking on Dickinson State and Hannibal-LaGrange Friday.
